Fangtastic Fiction
Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia Certain Dark Things combines elements of Latin American mythology with a literary voice that leads readers on an exhilarating and fast-paced journey. Welcome to Mexico City, an oasis in a sea of vampires. Here in the city, heavily policed to keep the creatures of the night at bay, Domingo is another trash-picking street kid, just hoping to make enough to survive. Then he meets Atl, the descendant of Aztec blood drinkers. Domingo is smitten. He clings to her like a barnacle until Atl relents and decides to let him stick around. But Atl's problems, Nick and Rodrigo, have come to find her. When they start to raise the body count in the city, it attracts the attention of police officers, local crime bosses, and the vampire community. Atl has to get out before Mexico City is upended, and her with it.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

Root & Ritual: A Guide to Green Witchcraft
The Whispering Path of Green Witchcraft Green witchcraft, often referred to as garden witchery, herbal magic, or nature-based craft, functions less as a codified system and more as a lived relationship with the natural world. Practice begins with attentiveness rather than instruction. Bare feet meeting soil, wind stirring branches, and water moving across stone offer lessons that cannot be learned through books alone. Knowledge develops through patience, observation, and repeated engagement with land and season. Magic emerges through familiarity and trust rather than spectacle.
